On the most splendid summer day so far this year, the Second Form took to the water, paddles in hand, for a trip to remember. After designing and making their paddles in Design and Technology lessons, they had the opportunity to test their creations on the tranquil waters of the lake at Hardwick Water Sports.
The pupils’ laughter and chatter echoed across the water, but this excursion was far more than just fun; it also served as a practical lesson. As they paddled, the pupils engaged in reflective evaluation, considering the functionality of their paddles. This hands-on experience provided them with invaluable insights into the principles of design and the satisfaction of seeing their projects come to life.
